Question

【题目】

Once upon a time there was a little boy who was clever, creative and handsome. But he had a very bad temper（脾气）. When he got angry, he usually said and did some very hurtful things. As he grew, his parents became worried about this weakness. Finally, the father had an idea. He gave his son a bag of nails, and a big hammer. "Whenever you lose your temper," he told the boy, "Just take a nail and drive it into the boards of that old fence."

By the end of the first day, the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Gradually, the number became less. Holding his temper proved to be easier than driving nails into the fence! Finally, the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He felt proud as he told his parents about that progress.

"As a sign of your success," his father replied, “you get to pull out one nail. In fact, you can do that each day since you don’t lose your temper even once.”

Finally, one day the young boy was able to report proudly that all the nails were gone.

At that point, the father asked his son to take one more look at the fence. “You have done well,” he said. "But I want you to notice the holes that are left. No matter what happens from now on, this fence will never be the same. Saying or doing hurtful things in anger produces the same result. It won't matter how many times you say you're sorry, or how many years pass, the hurt will still be there. We need to avoid as many of those hurts as we can."

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一个男孩很容易发脾气，爸爸为了让小男孩控制好自己的脾气，想出了一个办法：每次想发脾气的时候，就去老篱笆的木板上钉一个钉子，后来，小男孩没有钉一个钉子，控制好了自己的脾气，觉得很骄傲，但是父亲告诉他：篱笆上的木板上留下的钉子痕迹是改变不了的。所以我们要学会控制好自己的脾气，不对别人造成伤害。

【1】细节理解题。根据第1大段“But he had a very bad temper（脾气）.”但是他有一个坏脾气。可知，他的弱点是他的脾气。故选A。

【2】推理判断题。根据第3大段“"As a sign of your success,” his father replied, “you get to pull out one nail. In fact, you can do that each day since you don’t lose your temper even once.”” “作为你成功的标志，”父亲回答说，“你得拔一颗钉子。”事实上，你可以每天都这样做，因为你一次也不会发脾气。可知，拔钉子也是父亲的计划，故A错误；根据第5大段“Saying or doing hurtful things in anger produces the same result It won't matter how many times you say you're sorry, or how many years pass, the hurt will still be there.”在愤怒中说或做伤害性的事情会产生同样的结果，不管你说了多少次对不起，或多少年过去了，伤害仍然存在。可知，伤害一旦造成，会一直都在。故B正确；根据第2大段“By the end of the first day, the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.”到第一天结束时，男孩已经在栅栏上钉了37颗钉子。可知，37个钉子是第一天的数量，故C错误；根据第2大段“Holding his temper proved to be easier than driving nails into the fence!”事实证明，控制他的脾气比往篱笆上钉钉子要容易得多!可知，钉钉子比控制脾气更难，故D错误。故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据第5大段“We need to avoid as many of those hurts as we can.”我们需要尽量避免这些伤害。可知，父亲是想告诉儿子尽量避免做这些容易造成他人伤害的事。故选C。
